Out of the two to three thousand wooden carousels built in America there are less than 200 left. Most of the surviving carousels are on the East and West coasts. Colorado has five that together tell a fascinating story of Americas carousels. Go back in time and visit the carousel at historic Elitch Gardens. This video is shown with the permission of the Colorado Carousel Society. Their mission is to save and preserve the antique wooden carousels of America.
